Barefoot Mini Golf & Bocce is coming back to Long Beach! Tents are going up today & the mini golf course will be laid out tomorrow just in time for the Super Block Street Fair this weekend [May 1st – 3rd]. Mini Golf will then be open weekends only from Memorial Day to July 4th and daily thereafter.

The mini golf course will be in the same location as last year, on the iStar/Super block property off Riverside Blvd & the boardwalk. Same course, but with astroturf paths between holes so you don’t have to step on rocks anymore. The organizers do hope to add more ‘hazards’ this year as well.

Three Bocce courts are also coming, but no timetable on that yet. There will be a bocce league, so stay tuned for more info!

Barefoot Mini Golf! Come on down for the grand opening tomorrow at Riverside Blvd and the Boardwalk. Starting at noon they will be hosting 25 kids from Long Beach Special Education Department, followed by open play for the public at 1pm!

Normal hours will be from noon to 9pm, 7 days a week! Bring your ID that shows that you’re a LB resident or family beach pass for a discount on weekends.

Miniature golf is coming to a superblock near you! Barefoot Minigolf is the name. This 18 hole course will be located at the corner of the boardwalk and Riverside Blvd right next to shoregasboard food trucks.

The organizers are a couple of local families who are determined to bring more family entertainment to Long Beach. With the help of the city and iStar, their dream will become a reality as early as next week. The goal is to officially open on Thursday, July 17th.

So far the course will feature an 8ft lighthouse and a loop-de-loop. Other hazards/obstacles will be added as the weeks goes by. The organizers want the course to reflect a nautical beach theme. Set in sand, no shoes are required! Also on location will be picnic tables for parties. Hours and price to be determined, but they will open early once a week for special needs groups to play at no charge.

The organizers have some amazing plans for the future, which I cannot wait to share with you all. This is just a sneak peak, so stay tuned!
